by: Mary Anne Pella-Donnelly

This column shares how teachers use technology for assessment, student learning, or classroom management. Many classrooms are not located close to universities or research facilities, which reduces the available number of possible guest speakers from scientific fields.

Free, online video conferencing platforms provide unique opportunities to interact with specialists from different areas of the world.
